School Anthem

We have a goal in life
To persevere and to conquer,
In our work and in our play
We always strive for achievement.
We progress like the rolling wheel
The torch gives us hope and gives light.
We have faith and we trust in our Creator
In our quest we can reach for the stars.
Blou, wit en oranje
Gee ons moed en spoor ons aan:
Ons gaan onbevrees die toekoms in
Ons sal volhard en oorwin

School History

The School of Achievement came into existence as a result of the shared vision and dedication of individuals and institutions that recognised that a special intervention was needed to assist children with learning impairments.

A former Minister of Education and Training, Dr. Cruywagen, envisaged a school dedicated to the provision of specialised remedial education for learners with specific learning needs. This vision initiated the establishment of the school. The School of Achievement was formally established in 1980, under the auspices of the Germiston Cripple Care Association – then chaired by Mr Tom Jones, who also chaired the first Governing Body of the school.

The first principal, Mr Ludie Heath, together with a team of dedicated staff and a highly committed Parent/Teachers Association under the chairmanship of Mr Denis Peens, worked tirelessly to secure their own school complex. After a trying period in the dilapidated buildings of the Goedehoop School and much hardship, the drive, tenacity and faith of these members produced results. The new school complex was officially inaugurated in 1990. Since then the school has grown rapidly in all respects.

Invitational Education

Invitational Education forms a framework within which all educational activities take place in the school.

School Uniforms

School clothes at the School of Achievement are an important aspect of our educational environment. Our dress code is designed to foster a sense of pride, discipline, and a focused learning atmosphere.

The School of Achievement requires all students to wear a standardized school uniform. This policy promotes a sense of equality and minimizes distractions related to clothing choices.

While we maintain a uniform policy, students have some flexibility in choosing clothing that adheres to the guidelines. Students can choose from a range of clothing options as long as they conform to the prescribed colours and styles.
